When the neat and orderly footsteps were far away, Tang Zixi straightened up and whispered, "Thank you!"

She knew that her appearance was suspicious, especially when the footsteps of the group of forbidden soldiers stopped at the entrance of the alley, her instantly stiff expression must have fallen into the eyes of the young man in front of her. If he just shouted, she was finished. No one knows the style of those forbidden soldiers better than her, and they would definitely rather kill their mistakes than let them go, not to mention that she was a fugitive in the first place. So her thank you is sincere.

The boy didn't seem to hear her at all, didn't even look at her, just worked with his head bored.

Tang Zixi looked at the other party's back and suddenly realized, she thought that the other party was kind enough to help her, and the person who dared to love couldn't hear it at all. But in the end, it was still by the unintentional cover of others to escape, she thought about it and turned to the young man to gesticulate, and then waved her hand and planned to leave.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be out now. ”

Who knew that just a few steps after walking out, a slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him, startling Tang Zixi, who was unprepared, and turned back vigilantly, except for the young man who was still buried in carrying briquettes, but he didn't see anyone else.

She said with some hesitation, "Fang is talking to me?"

The boy put the briquettes in his hand into the wicker basket, lifted them up with all his might, and walked towards the door.

Tang Zixi looked at the empty alley, and then looked at the other party's back, completely stunned. Some wonder if I've had some auditory hallucinations because my nerves have been too tight lately. At this time, the young man had disappeared behind the wooden door with the wicker basket, and she was the only one left in the entire back alley, which was a little strangely quiet, and the noise on the street in the distance seemed to be blocked by a layer of water ripples, giving people an unreal trance.

A strong uneasiness swelled up in her heart, the feeling of being at the edge of the enemy, like the last time she had been sucked into the strange black swamp, before the promiscuous man in the cave who sat on the stone chair knocked her out of the cave. By the time she realized she was about to escape, it was too late, and her body seemed to be entangled in an invisible cobweb, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move for half a minute.

There was a sound of shredded footsteps behind her, step by step as if stepping on her heart, click, click, click.

Her forehead began to sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans ran down her sideburns, washing black and white marks on her face.

At this moment, a light cough came, and she felt the pressure on her body loosen, and then she fell down softly in front of her.

"Who did our family think it was, it turned out to be Qin Gongzi!" Almost at the same time as she fell, a shrill voice sounded at the entrance of the alley.

"I've seen Gonggong Wu!" a clear voice said respectfully, and the man turned around.

At this time, at the entrance of the alley, Qin Shuangyue, who was in the wind of the jade tree, was saluting an old man with a hunched waist. Not only was his expression extremely respectful, but he was also meticulous in the curvature of his bending, and he did not slack off in the slightest because of the other party's eunuch status.

"I can't help it, the old slave can't afford your gift!" Wood said, 'I can't help it', but he didn't mean to reach out to help, and let Qin Shuangyue finish the salute before unfolding a chrysanthemum-like smile.

Qin Shuangyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, and slapped her on the back with a slap that was not light or heavy: "Gonggong Wu is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has won the trust of the first emperor and His Majesty, so the kid should be respectful." My father also often said that Grandpa Wu is a rare person who understands, and he wants the boy to learn more from Grandpa Wu. ”

Hearing that the Prime Minister also praised him, Wood narrowed his eyes quite appreciatively, and said quietly: "Gongzi Qin hasn't entered the palace for several days, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been talking to you several times. ”

Qin Shuangyue's heart moved, but there was a look of embarrassment on her face: "A few days ago, the kid accidentally got a broken chess book, and asked his father-in-law to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, and the kid unlocked the game and entered the palace." ”

"We must bring this to our family!" Wood's gaze swept over his body on the ground as if unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Our family still has an errand to do, so we won't disturb Qin Gongzi to solve the chess game." Farewell!"

"Father-in-law, please!" Qin Shuangyue also smiled and saluted.

When Wood was far away, the smile on Qin Shuangyue's face gradually disappeared, and she slowly turned around and walked towards the figure who fell to the ground step by step.

Just as he was less than three feet away from the man on the ground, the body suddenly moved, and then staggered to get up from the ground.

Qin Shuangyue couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw the other party's appearance clearly, rushed to the other party with an arrow step, stretched out her hand to clasp the other party's throat and shouted, "What about the person before?"

In front of him was a pair of terrified eyes, his face was black and covered with soot, although he couldn't see his original appearance clearly, but it was definitely not a woman.

This thin young man didn't seem to be able to speak, he just pointed desperately at his throat, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, obviously Qin Shuangyue didn't mean to show mercy. Although he didn't resist, the right fist he was hiding behind him was getting tighter and tighter, and he could punch Qin Shuangyue in the head at any time.

"I thought it would be okay to pretend to be dumb. Don't say where she went, I want your life. Qin Shuangyue said viciously, and the strength in her hand gradually increased.

Hearing this, the young man's right fist hidden under him was silently released, and he turned to pull the opponent's hand desperately like an ordinary person's reaction. It's a pity that Qin Shuangyue at this time is full of killing intent, and where can he pull it apart. It didn't take long for the young man's throat to make a gurgling sound, and his eyes gradually began to bulge outward, and he was about to be pinched to death by Qin Shuangyue.

"I'm going to die, and I'm all over the ground with soot!" a loud voice sounded through the door, and then a sturdy woman with a large broom came out. Seeing the situation in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Qin Shuangyue's murderous eyes, screamed and turned his head and ran, and said loudly as he ran, "Kill! kill!"

By the time the woman returned with a large number of men, the assailant was gone, and only the boy lay motionless on the ground, as if he were dead.

After some pushing, a bold family man walked up to the young man, cautiously stretched out his hand to probe the tip of his nose, and looked back in surprise in the expectant eyes of everyone: "Brother Sheng is still alive!"

......

If the boundless building is the largest song and dance workshop in the east of the city, then the hookah pavilion is the largest green building in the east of the city. The two are not very far apart, just two streets apart. If you want to have fun, you will naturally go to the well-served hookah pavilion, but if you just want to listen to a little song and watch the dance, you will naturally go to the boundless building, which is more outstanding in singing and dancing.

At this moment, in an extremely elegantly furnished room on the second floor of the Infinity Building, the proprietress Mrs. Fengyue was listening to the second shopkeeper report on the scene that had just happened in the back alley.

Fengyue was a plump woman of about twenty-seven or eighteen years of age. Although there are traces of time in the corners of the eyes, they are still beautiful, and every gesture is full of the charm of a mature woman, which is a different taste compared with those young women. When he heard the second shopkeeper say that it was the young man Guan Sheng, who often delivered briquettes, who was almost killed, the two slender willow eyebrows inadvertently picked up, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know who did it?"

The second shopkeeper shook his head and said: "When the incident happened, only Yu's mother, who was cleaning the backyard, saw it, and she said that she was frightened by the person's eyes at that time, and she didn't see the other party's appearance clearly." ”

Feng Yue sneered and threw the wooden comb in her hand in front of the dressing mirror: "You dare to kill someone near my boundless building, your courage is really not small." After saying that, he got up and pushed open the window, looked outside, and saw the ghostly officials in the crowd, and the jade hand painted with Kodan moved as if he wanted to do something.

The second shopkeeper stepped forward and stopped her with great eyes, and said, "The master asked us not to act rashly." ”

"I know!" Feng Yue glared at him and said, "I'll go see that bastard boy!" After speaking, he walked to the wooden cabinet and opened the cabinet door, took out a few silver tickets from a sandalwood box, thought about it and took another bottle of healing medicine, turned around and walked towards the door.

The second shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and hurriedly followed.

At this moment, the young man Guan Sheng, who was almost killed, was lying motionless in a room for his subordinates, and there was no expression on his face that had long been wiped clean, only the occasional hatred that shot out of his eyes let people know that he was still alive.

With the knock on the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a graceful woman walked in with her waist twisted. The second shopkeeper who was about to walk in was glared at by the pair of apricot eyes, and hurriedly retreated, and closed the door intimately, temporarily acting as a guard for the two.

Feng Yue walked to the bed by herself, pulled over the wooden stool next to her and sat down, and said, "How is the injury?

Guan Sheng's eyes moved, and he hissed, "I can't die!" His voice was a little weird, obviously he had been injured a lot before.

"You!" Feng Yue sighed, put the things in his hand on the other party's pillow, and complained, "I told you a long time ago not to do the business that those subordinates do, and move back to live with me, but you just don't listen." Well, now, it's a disaster. You don't take your life seriously, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

"I'm willing!" Guan Sheng's head tilted slightly, looking unwilling to say more to her.

Feng Yue saw that he still had this attitude, her eyes turned red instantly, and she said patiently: "I know that you have a grudge against me, so you would rather suffer outside than come back." I guess if it weren't for the master's order to ask you to come back once a day to deliver the news, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to see me in your life. ”

She touched the young man's rough and cracked hand distressedly, but was quickly retracted by the other party, and the outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and said with a sad expression: "Do you think I feel good about making it like this? The original idea of going to Tiecheng to find evidence was made by the eldest brother himself, and you also agreed, and now I can't help it if the news is broken." You can't let me be a weak woman, can you?" Speaking of this, she looked at the young man expectantly, and seeing that the other party was not moved at all, the expression on her face changed, and she said angrily, "Okay! Anyway, I'm tired of doing this Laoshizi boss lady, whoever likes to do it." When the master returns, I will apply to go to the Iron City, and it is better to die there than to suffer like this. As she spoke, she began to sob, and the tears fell in a snap.

"Qin Shuangyue!" Guan Sheng suddenly spoke.
